Question / Help Frequent OBS Crashes - macOS Catalina 10.15.4

I'm running into an issue where OBS is regularly crashing and I'm not even doing anything with it. For example, I opened it up in a brand new account on my computer and was going to get restream.io set-up in the settings. I opened the settings, it sat there for a few minutes while I worked in a browser window and it crashed while I was away. Here is a crash log: https://pastebin.com/eKTp1qtK.

I found (before upgrading to 25.5) that OBS crashed any time I did secure input (like passwords) in any application (including webpages). I can inform that this appears to be fixed in 25.5.

OK, just tested that and it seems to be the case for me here...so I at least know how to work around it. I'm on macOS, using OBS 24.0.6. Is there a newer version for macOS I'm not seeing on the download page?

Yes. I don't know why it hasn't made it to the download page yet but I found it Here

I am also on MacOS 10.15.4 running OBS 24.0.6 and I am having frequent crashes. I can also confirm that one case where it crashes is when my lock screen appears and I then enter the password and hit enter. When the screens are visible again, OBS is gone and in a moment I will have the crash report.

However, another time I was in the middle of streaming and it just crashed on me. I don't remember entering anything into a secure input at the time, but I'll now start paying attention to that when I have the next crash.
